Fox managed just six points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT) but added 13 assists and three rebounds across 35 minutes in the Kings' 117-113 win over the Thunder on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fox equaled a low-water mark in points on a season-worst 10.0 percent shooting, but he helped make for it by setting up his teammates for plenty of scoring opportunities. The second-year guard's sudden offensive downturn was completely unforeseen, considering he'd shot 42.9 percent or better in 12 straight games. Despite the clunker, Fox's season-high assist total was a sign he can keep his head in the game even when things aren't going well in other aspects, certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy owners who've been benefiting from his considerable improvement thus far this season.

Fox finished with 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Fox was a shining light for the Kings Friday, scoring 23 points and recording double-digit assists for the fourth time this season. He has been great for the Kings so far, developing his game in leaps and bounds all over the floor. Those who managed to draft him are likely patting themselves on the back.

Fox turned in 19 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 31 minutes in the Kings' 104-99 win over the Spurs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fox checked in as the leading scorer on the first unit and turned in the second-highest tally for the night on the Kings behind that of Bogdan Bogdanovic. The second-year guard continues to be highly efficient offensively on the majority of nights, with Monday's stellar 77.8 percent success rate from the floor -- which included a 75.0 percent figure from three-point range -- bringing his overall shooting percentage to 54.7 percent over the first six games of November. The elite-level accuracy has helped Fox increase his scoring average over seven points (11.6 to 18.7) over that of his rookie season.

Fox posted 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 38 minutes in Saturday's 101-86 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Fox played excellent ball despite his team's season-low scoring total. He's been deadly from beyond the arc this season, converting 41 percent of his 3-point attempts. Fox is often overlooked as a quality fantasy target, but now that the Kings have started out strong, he'll be in higher demand.

Fox tallied 16 points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 121-110 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Fox continued his impressive start to the season Friday, recording his third double-digit assist game. He is one of the major reasons the Kings now sit at 7-and-5 for the season. He has improved a number of aspects to his game including efficiency, passing and perimeter scoring. It is appearing as though he is going to smash his pre-season rank and could turn out to be one of the steals of the draft.

Fox registered 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and one rebound across 36 minutes in the Kings' 114-105 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fox continues to show marked improvement across the board in his second season, as Wednesday already marked his sixth 20-point effort of the season. That's particularly notable when considering Fox only had five in all of his rookie season, and none before Jan. 28. The 20-year-old is unsurprisingly getting it done with some sharp shooting, as Wednesday's 53.3 percent effort put his season success rate at an even 50.0 percent on an average of 13.5 shot attempts per contest.

Fox (back) finished with 31 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 15 assists, 10 rebounds, and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 146-115 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Fox played through a minor back strain but obviously felt fine, amassing career highs in scoring, rebounding, assists, and made free throws. It was by far the best performance of his young career, and he'll now have two days to rest up for Sunday's road showdown with the defensively dominant Bucks.

Fox (back) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Fox will handle the point guard duties while nursing a minor back strain. He dealt with the issue Tuesday against Orlando but still managed to be on the court for 30 minutes and total 14 points along with five assists, two boards and two steals. It appears unlikely that he'll be facing a significant minutes restriction.

Fox is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a lower back strain, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the second straight game that Fox has popped up on the injury report, but the point guard was still able to play 30 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Magic, so there isn't much concern surrounding his health. While Fox's status will still need to be confirmed prior to tip-off, expect him to be in the starting lineup and ready to go Thursday night.

Fox tallied 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds, and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 victory over Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Fox was in some doubt heading into Tuesday's game with an apparent back injury suffered against the Heat. Despite the concern, he was able to take his place in the starting lineup and put up some decent numbers in doing so. Like many of the Kings players, Fox has had an impressive start to the season which has translated into four straight victories. He will now get a night off before the team travels to Atlanta to face the Hawks in what is another favorable matchup for the sophomore.
